David North Trotter (24 May 1858 - 17 March 1912) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Trotter was born at Forkhill in County Down in May 1858. He played minor matches for Ireland and Dublin University Cricket Club in the 1870s,[1] where he had some success, scoring a century at College Park in 1876 against a United South of England Eleven featuring W. G. Grace, James Southerton and James Lillywhite.[2] Impressed by his performance, Grace invited him to play for the North of England in the annual North v South fixture.[3] He played in the 1877 fixture at Chelsea, in what would be his only appearance in first-class cricket.[4] Trotter played as an opening batsman. He toured North America with the Gentlemen of Ireland in 1879, and continued to play minor matches for Ireland until 1890.[1] He died at a private hospital in Dublin in March 1912, following a long illness.[5]
